Before you can use XLFORMS applications, you must enable macros from within Microsoft Excel program.

Please be advised, using Excel Applications with built-in macros from unreliable sources, can be harmful to your computer. Macros are essentially necessary bits of computer code that allow our applications to interact with Microsoft Excel.

All XLFORMS applications, are signed with security certificate and guarantied to be free of any malware.

When you install first an application from XLFORMS, you will get a pop-up that reads “Windows protected your PC” and see a button that says “Don’t run”. This is something precautionary that Microsoft Defender does when it is unfamiliar with a new program on your computer. Click the “More info” on the pop-up and check if you are familiar with our application name, and that the Publisher name is XLFORMS LLC. If you see our information, continue with the installation as you normally would by clicking on the newly added button that says “Run Anyway”.
